Hi everyone, my name is Mel, im 35 & have struggled with serious M.E. or Chronic FAtigue Syndrome & Fibromyalgia for 7 years now. My symptoms first came up when living in London (im now in australia), a few months after a HUGE amount of amalgum work in 2000. All over body pain, tinitus severe gut disturbance, parasites involvment etc followed. Night sweats and the myriad of anxiety panic & visual disturbances that went with it all especially in the first 5 years. I was bedridden & housebound for much of that time. Eventually slowly removing my 12 fllings (finished mid 2005), and having treatment for parasites has put me on a recovery. BUt i am still far from normal with the raging tinitus and FMS pains everywhere, sleep disturbances & still painfull ibs & underweight. Fatigue & constant viral infections have recently improved though.
So my instincts tell me i now need to chelate as all my previous attempts at IV vitamin c, high levels of glutamine/thone, high potency amino acid whey protien suppelements etc all gave me truly frightening reactions!! I can only condlude my toxicity levels with bacterial parasite & hg was just too damn much for me to cope with!! So for a while i just wanted to stop & try to reconnect with life & go out & try to socialise & have some fun. BUt i cant seem to get onto the next level, so am due to have an appointment with my alternative practitioner about chelation. I already know from hair tests im Hg toxic.
Ok, so basically im terrified of DMSA etc. Ive read so many horror stories that i almost dont wanna do it!! CAnt i detox with natural supplements & AHA? What id really like to know does this REALLY work? Have people here felt real & worthwhile benefits from DMSA and ALA? If i start this ill be starting reeeeeeal low.. as im super sensitive- & quite frankly have enough trauma already lol! Also im finally starting part time study again soon & dont want to disrupt this so badly so figure go gently & real slow?
Your opinions experience & advice would be a godsend! many thanks : )
